I enjoy Birthdays immensely. I take my Birthday to a whole new level of celebration it usually extends the entire month of October. Though it only exists on the 10th, my Birthday is 10/10! What is so magical about Birthdays? Is it the endless calls, texts, emails from friends & family? Is it the 9 am door bell ring with a flower delivery? Or the random acts of kindness from strangers when they find out its your Birthday? Like, free products from Sephora, a high end cleanser from your Dermatologist or free dessert from the waiter. Or is it the fact that everyone sings you their tone-deaf renditions of "Happy Birthday" on your voicemail in a world full of texting? Is it the party, the theme, the colors, the restaurants, clubs or trips we all plan to celebrate? Or is it the perfect Birthday dress & shoes, the one that screams "its my birthday & I can wear sequins or candy apple red if I want too, Damn it!" Or is it the gift? The splurge on yourself where you buy something lavish or ask for something BIG, that on any other day you wouldn't dream to spend or even consider? Is it the hand written cards full of humor & love? Is it the moment your about to blow out your candles and your wish is racing in your mind, where the noise of the party falls away & you breathe in ready to exhale?
I suspect it's that we are all dying emotionally a little bit too feel special, loved & primarily acknowledged in this world. We are given this 1 day of praise. 1 day a year to be celebrated by our friends near & far. By family whether you are close or estranged everyone reaches out on your Birthday. Even by strangers who are often kinder than those nearest & dearest.
So the next time you wish someone a Happy Birthday do it with an open heart. Feed their soul with your acknowledgment that, Yes today is their moment!
~Love, Kaki

ReplyDeleteAll thanks to Consumer Loan Firm for helping me with my loan after been scammed 6 times by fake people who clams to be loan lenders. My name is Charlie Bean i am from South Africa and i live in the city of Johannesburg. A month ago i was searching for an online loan and i saw different loan lender on the internet and with some fake testimonies and i applied from them and all i got was scammers i applied more than 6 companies and i was cheated all the way. So i gave up hope until i decided to check again if i will find help as i was searching and i settled down to look for a legit loan company i found this company named Consumer Loan Firm loan company i saw a lot of testimonies that people comment about her but because i was cheated severally i thought it was a scam but i did what i was asked to do and i waited for my loan and Mrs Consumer Loan Firm told me in less than 8 hours time you be with my loan safely i did not believe cause i thought it was also a scam so that day it was night time in South Africa and i slept off the nest morning as i woke up i received an alert from my bank that there is money on my account and immediately i called my bank to confirm and the bank manger told me to come to the bank immediately and i went immediately the bank got opened as the bank manager checked my account we saw an amount of $135,000.00 USD that is United States Dollars and i explained to my manager that i applied for a loan online and my bank manager was shocked if there was still a real and legit loan company online i am so happy all thanks to Consumer Loan Firm i decided to write on the internet because i saw other people do it and testify about this company that is why i am posting this message online to anyone that need a loan even if you have been cheated before apply from this company and be rest assured that this company won't let you down.
